By default, all Advanced Custom Fields metaboxes with a position/context of “side” are given a priority of “core” which means that they’ll be positioned below the WordPress Publish, Categories and Tags metaboxes, and possibly others. The function below can be used to bump up a priority of a metabox to “high” so that it appears at the very top of the side column (in two-column view).
| <?php | |
| /** | |
| * Set Advanced Custom Fields metabox priority. | |
| * | |
| * @param string $priority The metabox priority. | |
| * @param array $field_group The field group data. | |
| * @return string $priority The metabox priority, modified. | |
| */ | |
| function km_set_acf_metabox_priority( $priority, $field_group ) { | |
| if ( 'My Field Group' === $field_group['title'] ) { | |
| $priority = 'high'; | |
| } | |
| return $priority; | |
| } | |
| add_filter( 'acf/input/meta_box_priority', 'km_set_acf_metabox_priority', 10, 2 ); |
Just be sure to change ‘My Field Group’ to the name of the Advanced Custom Fields field group whose priority you want to change.
